BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part'of Letters Patent No. 706,056, dated August5, 1902.

Application filed April 18,1902.

T0 at whom it vnay c0nccrn:

Be it known that I, WILLIE WASHINGTON HOLLAND, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Bremond, in the county of Robertson and State ofTexas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottles, ofwhich the following is a specification, reference being had therein tothe accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to that class of bottles known as non-refillablebottles; and my object is to produce a bottle of this type of as fewparts as possible, of especially economical construction, and one whichcan be readily filled and emptied in a simple manner. It is also myobject to provide a bottle of this type having instead of a stopper aclosed neck with a vulnerable portion which is readily accessible andcan be easily mutilated to discharge the liquid and yet be shielded fromaccidental breakage and to so arrange said portion that the broken glasstherefrom will be discharged and conducted outside of the bottle by achannel having an outlet separate from the bottles mouth.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification,Figure l is a vertical section of my non-refillable bottle, and Fig. 2is a detail perspective view of the neck.-

Referring more particularly to the drawings, A denotes the body of thebottle, which may be of any desired shape, provided with' an opening ain its bottom portion through which it is filled. The opening a isclosed by a glass stopper which is glued or cemented in said opening orby annealing the opening.

B denotes the neck of the bottle, terminating at its upper end in asolid portion b, which is formed integral with the neck.

I) 1) denote two knobs formed integral with the neck at one side andproject horizontally therefrom for the purposes hereinafter mentioned. Ihave shown two knobs, but any number may be used.

0 denotes a false neck made integral with the neck proper and forms withthe upper Serial No. 103,570. (No model.)

portion of the neck proper the mouth of the bottle.

0 denotes an opening at the bottom of the false neck arranged at a pointbelow the knobs b b for the purpose hereinafter named. The false neckacts as a shield to prevent accidental breakage of said knobs.

To open the bottle, any hard substance, such as apocket-knife or otherconvenient implement, is-passed down through the mouth of the bottleinto the false neck and pressed or struck against the knobs Z) Z) untilthey break off, thus forming one or more openings in the side of theneck. As said knobs project horizontally into the false neck whensevered fromthe neck proper, they fall into the false neck and arecarried by gravity through the opening 0 clear of the bottle. Thus alldanger of broken glass passing inside the bottle is avoided, as Well asthe dan ger of passing it through the mouth of the bottle into thereceiving vessel.

Having thus shown and described my in vention, what I claim, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A bottle having a closed neck formed in tegral with the bottle, avulnerable portion to said neck, a shield for said vulnerable portionformed integral with the neck and serving also as the mouth of thebottle, and means for filling and sealing the bottle.

2. A bottle having a closed neck formed integral with the bottle, avulnerable portion to said neck accessible through the mouth of thebottle, a false neck or shield for said vulnerable portion forming themouth of the bottle and also a passage-way to conduct the broken glassfrom the bottle mouth, and means for filling and sealing the bottle.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

WILLIE WASHINGTON HOLLAND.
